Counting The Omer

The counting of the days to Shavuot is intended to remind us of the link between Passover, which commemorates the Exodus and the Resurrection; and Shavu'ot, which commemorates the formal giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.

Clearing the Way for Passover
The Passover experience is quite a bit more than sitting down to that first bite of matzah. In order to experience more of this amazing season of liberation, preparation is key.

A Cry Against Exclusion
In contrast to the compassion and healing potential of Parashat Tazria, this week also saw the recent death of a hate filled and exclusionist man, Fred Phelps. Purim is over yet the groggers that drowned out evil Haman are spiritually called back one more week to drown out the name of Fred Phelps.

The Power of Music
Judaism teaches that when we sing our prayers, we receive credit for praying twice.In Job 38:7 the text tells us that during the creation of the world, "the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy."

Women Standing Up For Justice
To be a Jew means to struggle for social justice and for compassion. To be a Jew means to speak out about serious issues of our day and to stand for equality of all people.

The Little Aleph
The words Vayikra, from the root meaning, to call, indicates that G-d wanted to speak to Moses and purposefully called to him. When G-d wanted to call the false prophet Balaam (Numbers 23:16) the word is only Vayikar – without the last letter, aleph.

Riding the Wave
I admit to having surfed just a few times in my life, but I loved it! Last summer we all gave it a try and it was thrilling to find balance and be lifted by a power so much greater than ourselves.
